Original Bboard Thread in which Smile was proposed

Here is the original message posted by Scott Fahlman on 19 September, 1982:

19-Sep-82 11:44 Scott E Fahlman Smile

From: Scott E Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c>

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
Smile

Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark

things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use
Sad

I don't think the "yellow smiley" quite does the original justice.
